Football Special

I thought that at first but if you watch it again can see one of their player obstructs McCarthy from challenging for the ball

I think goal difference is a good indication of how well Cov are doing, not scrappy wins but big scores, expect they'll beat Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend , massive feelgood factor there with the ground now back in their ownership, big crowds etc

Normal service resumed with us back above the Skates

22 goals already this season, look very good at the moment , scoring for fun

3,100 sold out away end going up for this, excellent following 👏

It's a tricky one, Stewart has to start again doesn't he, but would hate him to pick up an injury, aim to play first half or 60 mins then switch it up anyway. Eustace will 100% have them set up deep looking for us to lose the ball and hit us on the break, re-run of Hull so we could do with getting first goal and don't walk into the trap.

Don't get me started on that, bought 6 tickets, that's ONE transaction and one envelope to post and yet £9 in booking fee, it's an absolute joke

Should have kept Fonte

Really not sure why Saints said it was 2700 sell out, was about 2000 of us there last night

I've seen other managers talk about managing their squads due to the strain of three games in a week, surely this should be a strength for us having replacements ready that don't really weaken the XI on the pitch , even with the championship schedule they all won't get to play, paying Aribo a big wage just to train for example

I thought his previous manager roles he had his brothers as part of the coaching set up, was just interested why that stopped when he came here and must take Will Still some time to get used to working with a new support team

Anyone know why his brothers didn't come with him?

Those players have shown tremendous character. Paid late, no pre season, tiny first team squad, they are putting in big performances and playing well Hopefully they'll lose heart by the time we play them

Fair play @die Mannyschaft looks like a good away day getting a free trip and bet they've got some good stories to tell onboard, will make the other bingo buses jealous

I think it's a valid point, Will Still is very inexperienced so only one way to learn , assume Trollope is part of the set up to add the experience

Wilder is to streetwise to give us space like that, he's good at grinding out 1-0 wins when needed, I'd say 0-0 is a likely scoreline

I saw there was some free travel laid on but only one or two luxury coaches paid for by sponsors Midnite, hopefully they lay on some champagne and strippers to pass the time going up the M1 , let us know who the Saints legend is

Unbelievably bad, and possibly the craziest thing is we've probably sold out for every one of those away days , remarkable

Danny Ings to score , put your house on it

Drew 1-1 at home to Sunderland today, played at Eastleigh with a crowd of 1,367 so a bit less than what they tend to get when playing at St Mary's

I agree there's more to be positive about, change of players showing what they are capable of at Anfield and again on Saturday, my biggest concern is up front Still hasnt decided who best fits his system and between Downs, Stewart and Archer I think none of them will, Archer best finisher but can't hold ball up and bring others into play, Stewart seemed to do that more but then doesn't offer us the goal threat , going to keep trying different combinations I expect

Funny side Sheffield United, came very very close to promotion in the play off final just a few months ago, Selles experiment was a disaster, I only watched on of their games where they were a bit unlucky to lose to Middlesbrough and didn't look bad but they must have been worse in other games. Got a few good players, O'Hare, Hamer and Campbell particularly

I saw that but I don't think it's correct, they never put one of the end blocks on sale, there was about 400 left in block furthest to the left facing the pitch the other morning and by afternoon changed to unavailable, not sure why they'd take them off sale but no way we sold them all in a couple of hours Most likely 2000 up there which is still exceptionally good with costs involved

I'd say Coventry are the best I've seen so far, attack with real intent and are scoring for fun

we've lost to Stoke and were mauled by the tigers, we've failed to beat the Skates or Watford , in the here and now we are where we deserve to be and it's up to Still and the players to show us they can turn it around
